May 15, 2018 by Mike Leave a Comment

Game 41: Rainy D.C.
Yankees & Nationals suspended due to rain, game will resume at 5pm Wednesday

Got a couple quick injury notes to pass along before we get to tonight’s games:

  • LHP Justus Sheffield (shoulder) is listed as Triple-A Scranton’s scheduled starter for Saturday. He’s only going to spend the minimum seven days on the disabled list. Phew.
  • RHP Domingo Acevedo (blister) traveled to Tampa to continue his rehab work down there, reports Matt Kardos. He’ll begin pitching in Extended Spring Training games soon.
  • RHP Anyelo Gomez (shoulder) is still three or four weeks away, Triple-A Scranton manager Bobby Mitchell told Conor Foley. Gomez has had on-and-off shoulder trouble all year.

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (4-3 win over Lehigh Valley, walk-off style)

  • SS Tyler Wade: 1-4, 1 K
  • C Kyle Higashioka: 0-4
  • DH Adam Lind: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K — second homer in 17 games this year
  • 3B Vince Conde: 0-3, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K — walk-off walk
  • LHP Nestor Cortes: 5.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, 1 HR, 1/6 GB/FB — 54 of 80 pitches were strikes (68%) … at one point he struck out seven straight batters
  • RHP Cody Carroll: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K — nine of 16 pitches were strikes … 26/7 K/BB in 16.1 innings

Double-A Trenton Thunder (4-3 loss to Akron)

  • CF Jeff Hendrix: 0-4, 3 K, 1 HBP
  • LF Billy McKinney: 0-2, 2 BB, 1 CS — played all nine innings in the field
  • 1B Greg Bird: 0-4, 1 K, 1 E (fielding) — played all nine innings in the field, which is more notable than McKinney playing all nine innings only because Bird had ankle surgery and that’s nine innings of standing around
  • SS Abi Avelino: 1-4, 1 R, 2 K
  • RF Jhalan Jackson: 2-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HBP
  • 3B Gosuke Katoh: 1-4, 2 K
  • RHP Erik Swanson: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, 1 HB, 4/3 GB/FB — 54 of 78 pitches were strikes (69%) … 0.44 ERA and 52/12 K/BB in 40.2 innings

High-A Tampa Tarpons Game One (4-2 win over Dunedin in seven innings)

  • 2B Hoy Jun Park & RF Isiah Gilliam: both 0-3 — Park struck out
  • CF Estevan Florial: 1-3, 2 K
  • LF Alex Palma: 2-3, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 K — 23-for-66 (.348) with only six strikeouts in his last 17 games
  • SS Diego Castillo: 1-2, 1 R — 10-for-27 (.370) in his last eight games
  • RHP Trevor Stephan: 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 11 K, 1 HR, 1 HB, 4/5 GB/FB — 70 of 91 pitches were strikes (77%) … 1.98 ERA and 49/9 K/BB in 41 innings

High-A Tampa Tarpons Game Two (2-0 loss to Dunedin in seven innings) makeup of yesterday’s rainout

  • SS Hoy Jun Park: 1-3, 1 K, 1 SB
  • CF Estevan Florial: 1-2, 1 BB, 1 K — .372 OBP during his 31-game on-base streak
  • RF Isiah Gilliam: 1-3
  • 1B Brandon Wagner: 0-3, 2 K — in a 1-for-14 (.071) rut
  • DH Alex Palma: 0-3, 1 K
  • 2B Diego Castillo: 0-2, 1 BB
  • RHP Mike King: 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 2 WP, 8/1 GB/FB, 1 E (pickoff) — 42 of 59 pitches were strikes (71%) … 45/10 K/BB in 40.1 innings
  • LHP Trevor Lane: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 2/0 GB/FB — 21 of 33 pitches were strikes (64%) … 1.35 ERA and 28/3 K/BB in 20.1 innings … I’m guessing he’ll be in Trenton before long

Low-A Charleston RiverDogs Game One (10-7 loss to Hagerstown in seven innings)

  • SS Oswaldo Cabrera: 0-4
  • CF Dom Thompson-Williams: 2-4, 2 R, 2 HR, 3 RBI — back-to-back two-homer games!

  • LF Pablo Olivares: 2-4, 1 K, 1 CS — 20-year-old is up to .338/.397/.437 in 20 games with Charleston
  • DH Leonardo Molina: 1-3, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 BB
  • LHP Dalton Lehnen: 2 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 0/2 GB/FB — 28 of 52 pitches were strikes (54%)
  • RHP Austin DeCarr: 1.2 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 0 K, 1 HR, 3/1 GB/FB — 22 of 44 pitches were strikes … 40/36 K/BB in 39 innings dating back to the start of last season

  • LF Pablo Olivares: 1-3, 1 RBI
  • RF Leonardo Molina: 1-3, 1 R, 1 2B
  • RHP Janson Junk: 4 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 HR, 4/3 GB/FB — 42 of 67 pitches were strikes (63%) … last year’s 22nd rounder is just up from Extended Spring Training to replace RHP Garrett Whitlock, who was bumped up to Tampa
